Championship 2025/26 promotion odds: Coventry and Ipswich favourites

As the 2025/26 Championship season takes shape, Coral shares its odds for promotion to the Premier League, with Coventry, Ipswich and Middlesbrough leading the way.

Coventry's imperious start to the campaign saw them emerge as the clear favourites to get promoted, with Frank Lampard's side still sitting pretty at the top as the second half of the season gets underway.

Premier League hopefuls Ipswich and high-flyers Middlesbrough are also firmly in the conversation, with the league proving incredibly tight from third downwards.

Coventry City are odds-on to secure promotion to the Premier League at the end of the 2025/26 Championship season, with the Sky Blues looking strong under Frank Lampard despite a recent wobble.

The Midlands side haven't been in the top tier since relegation in the 2000/2001 campaign, but have finished inside the top six in two of the past three seasons - losing to the eventual play-off winners on both occasions.

A formidable start to the 2025/26 season saw their promotion odds slashed by Coral, with Coventry now clear favourites ahead of Middlesbrough, and pre-season favourites Ipswich.

Watford, Bristol City, Birmingham, Leicester, Stoke, Southampton, and Millwall are also given a strong chance of promotion by the bookies, with the Championship providing drama every single week.

A catastrophic start to the season saw Sheffield United's promotion chances plummet, with the Blades losing every one of their opening six games. The Yorkshire outfit were among the pre-season favourites for promotion, but now find themselves further down the pecking order.

A recent upturn in form will have fans confident of a promotion push, with a long way to go in this Championship season - but there are still plenty of teams for Chris Wilder's side to catch in the coming months.

It's quite common to see someone make a late charge in the Championship, with mid-table teams always in with a chance of sneaking into the top six if they hit a run of form.

Recent seasons have seen the likes of Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest secure promotion to the Premier League after unlikely winning streaks - so will a team repeat the trick in 2025/26?

Preston and Hull have enjoyed strong starts to the season, while teams including Charlton, Swansea, and QPR will be hoping to renew their acquaintances with the Premier League after prolonged absences.

Wrexham are looking for a record-breaking fourth consecutive promotion, which would see them play Premier League football for the first time ever - but a difficult start means they're only given an outside chance of making history.

You can also take a look at the favourites to be relegated from next season's Premier League, with Wolves and West Ham both struggling to climb out of the bottom three.
